Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about QLD emergency department wait times

Which QLD facilities report live ED wait times?

26 Queensland public hospitals and minor injury clinics that report to the QLD Health Open Hospitals system are included, covering major EDs in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Cairns, and regional centres, plus satellite minor injury clinics.

What is the median wait time at QLD EDs?

The median wait time shown is the middle value of all current patient wait times at each facility. This means half the patients have waited less than this time and half have waited longer. It gives a more representative picture than an average, as it is less affected by extreme outliers.

What is the difference between an ED and a Minor Injury Clinic in Queensland?

Emergency Departments (EDs) are full-service emergency facilities that treat all types of emergencies, including life-threatening conditions. Minor Injury Clinics (MICs) are satellite facilities that treat less serious injuries and illnesses such as sprains, minor cuts, and mild infections. MICs typically have shorter wait times but cannot treat serious emergencies.

What are treatment spaces in QLD ED data?

Treatment spaces indicate the total capacity of the facility -- the number of beds or treatment areas available for patient care. This helps give context to patient waiting numbers; a facility with 50 treatment spaces and 10 patients waiting is under less pressure than one with 10 spaces and 10 waiting.

How often are QLD ED wait times updated?

QLD emergency department wait times shown on Doccy refresh every 15 minutes; the underlying QLD Health Open Hospitals data updates periodically throughout the day. For the most current data, visit the QLD Health Open Hospitals website directly.

Should I use QLD ED wait times to decide whether to seek emergency care?

No. Always call 000 for life-threatening emergencies. Wait time data is for general awareness only and should not be used to decide whether to seek emergency care.

Why might my actual wait at a QLD emergency department differ?

The median wait time is a point-in-time snapshot across all patients. Your actual wait depends on your triage category, the complexity of cases ahead of you, staffing levels, and time of day. Higher-priority patients are always seen first under the Australasian Triage Scale.
